A shortlist of six supercars was identified by a combination of three cars chosen as ‘Showstoppers of the Day’ by way of a live ‘cheerometer’ system in the #michelin#supercar Padock, with a further three chosen by a #michelin#uk Facebook poll.

A panel of expert judges took to the #michelin#supercar Paddock Live Stage on Sunday afternoon to deliberate the six shortlisted cars and agree on one overall ‘Showstopper of the Festival’ winner. Autocar’s Matt Prior, Evo’s Will Beaumont and Motoring Research’s Richard Aucock joined Michelin’s Peter Shaw, Goodwood’s Toby Langley and presenter and racing driver Amanda Stretton to cast their final votes for the overall winner.

Following lengthy deliberations, and a very close shortlist of stunning supercars, the overall Showstopper of the Festival title was presented to the #astonmartin#vulcan.

Receiving the accolade at the #goodwoodfestivalofspeed, #astonmartin CEO Andy Palmer said: “We are absolutely delighted. The #vulcan is a sensational car in every way – put together in record time by #astonmartin and all 24 examples sold out in record time, with the design team, the Q team, sales and marketing all coming together and doing a really spectacular job. #vulcan has become a real icon, indeed a ‘showstopper’ as today’s accolade underlines. There was immense competition for this prize here at the Festival of Speed, so our thanks to our fans for the public vote into the shortlist and to the judges for their vote for #astonmartin today.”
